Romantic Flowers

Romantic flowers do not have to be red roses. Soft pink hydrangeas, pale spray roses, white germini and blush bouquets can all say the same thing, and they often feel less predictable.

The test is simple: would she recognise it as yours? A bouquet that suits her taste says more than a dozen roses chosen from habit. If she likes soft colours, choose pastels and pale pinks. If she likes drama, deep red or berry tones suit better.

This page is for the in-between occasions: a date night, an apology, a surprise, a first anniversary or a just-because gift. It lists bouquets from two UK florists, including some with hydrangeas, since a hydrangea bunch looks full and romantic at a modest price. Prices shown are for the smallest size.
